Ovarian Cysts A cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the ovary and usually disappears after ovulation. There are different types of cysts. Follicular cyst – A follicular cyst develops each month and contains the small egg within it. The sac ruptures during ovulation and the egg leaves the ovary. Sometimes the cyst can grow larger than the normal size which is up to 3 cm (a little over an inch). If the sac that holds the egg doesn’t break open to release the egg, it can grow, anywhere in size from 1 inch to 4 inches across. Most follicular cysts will disappear in 2-8 weeks and do not cause pain.
